The water surface of the flood retention basin Alfhausen-Rieste, or the Alfsee as the lake is also called, covers approx. 2.2 km², the shore length approx. seven kilometers. A wonderful pedestrian/bicycle path runs around the Alfsee. You can watch a lot of birds of different species here.

Highlight • Lake

The one-way route around the lake is approximately 7 kilometers. There is a paved path at the top of the dike from which you can see the lake the whole time.

North shore of the Alfsee

Highlight • Lake

The Alfsee is a nice destination for a long walk. From the parking lot in the north, it's just under eight kilometers around the lake. Wonderful quiet, almost no traffic noise, except from the north-west railway every now and then. Not lonely enough for me in summer, but just wonderful outside of the season.
